Interior mirror - removal and refitting

Removal
1 The interior mirror is bonded to the
windscreen glass. If it must be removed, grip
the mirror firmly and push it forward to break
the adhesive bond.

2 When refitting the mirror, the following
preliminary work must first be carried out.

3 Remove existing adhesive from the
windscreen glass using a suitable solvent.

Allow the solvent to evaporate. The location of
the mirror base is marked on the glass with a
black patch, so that there should not be any
chance of an error when fitting.

Refitting
4 If the original mirror is being refitted, clean
all the old adhesive from the mirror mounting
base, and apply a new adhesive patch to it.

5 If a new windscreen is being installed, peel
off the protective layer from the black patch,
which is pre-coated with adhesive.

6 Peel off the protective layer from the mirror
adhesive patch and locate the mirror precisely
onto the black patch on the screen. Hold it in
position for at least two minutes.

7 For best results, the fitting of a bonded type
mirror should be carried out in an ambient
temperature of 70°C (158°F). The careful use
of a blower heater on both the glass and
mirror should achieve this temperature level.
